It's summer you say? SCREW LOGIC. We're trying to cool down in these hot times, so what better way to do that than to present our favorite snow/ice levels in gaming?

Freezeezy Peak, Banjo Kazooie: The level has you doing slalom races not once, but twice, sledding 200 ft onto a polar bear just to wake him up and recover a jiggy piece, transforming into a walrus, and climbing up a giant Christmas tree. The epitome of a great snow level.

Chapter 7, Paper Mario: Penguin murder mystery, the Crystal Palace, and the music for Starborn Valley.

Ice Cap Zone, Sonic 3: Duh.

Cool Cool Mountain, Super Mario 64: Another duh.

Planet Freon, Ristar: The entire first half involves dodging a monkey goblin thing before slipping and sliding on platforms in the 2nd half, then finishing it off with an epic fight against a giant ice monster.

Snow Barrel Blast, Donkey Kong Country, Hard as hell without the shortcut, but also very memorable.

Ice Cavern, Ocarina of Time: It's short but provides lots of pleasure (that's what she said). The music is also beautiful.

Ice Palace, Link Between Worlds: I save this as the last dungeon before the final boss for a good reason.

Freezy Flake Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2: Ice and gravity were never so much fun before.

All of Snowflake Mountain, Diddy Kong Racing: If you need a racing game with festive holiday cheer, this is it, as all 4 levels of Snowflake Mountain are pure joy.

Dragon Cave, 1080 Snowboarding: All of the game is justifiable, but Dragon Cave is just insane.
